Homeward Bound






We said goodbye to India at 1:20am this morning as we departed from Mumbai International airport to begin the journey home. This has been an amazing voyage, the full meaning and effect on me I don't think will be fully digested for some time to come. Due to the very scant net access we found and the quite ambitious schedule we kept, many things that we saw and experienced have not yet made it into the blog. After returning home I hope to gather my thoughts and expand on some of the information here, making the blog a more comprehensive description of our trip.

There are also many more photos and videos to share with all of you. I hope to get those uploaded with complete descriptions in the coming weeks. While I'm sure they will not capture the true essence of being in such a vibrant, exciting country, they should serve to give a taste to anyone who is interested in the region.

As for now we are staring down the barrel of a 9-hour layover at the Amsterdam airport. All things considered, there are much worse airports to be stuck at for such a long time and we are just happy that we only have one flight left until we are home.

Looking forward to seeng you all soon.

We are very excited to have you arrive back home!! You are right, the Amsterdam airport is pretty awesome. We didn't have nearly the layover time that you guys are experiencing. It would have been fun to have had more time than we did to have been able to explore it more. It will be great to fly straight into Metro so that part is welcomed I'm sure - no more layovers! Spoke to Ryan and he is all set to pick you guys up at the airport. Now we just have to wait for your arrival which can't come soon enough. It seems like you have been away for soooo long! Miss ya, but very excited about your coming home! Be sure to call as soon as you can! Have a great and safe flight back to Michigan!
